I don't get opposites existing on the same axis.
-5 and 5 are on an axis, and we assume they are opposites only if we assume that there's a 0 and that they're on the same axis. They are 2 different numbers and while their characteristics may be the similar you can't mathematically be both 5 and -5 . It presupposes that every real number (emotion) has an opposite. Yes you can feel emotionally inconsistent positive and negative emotions at the same time, but they are still distinct like 5 and -5. The only constant in the above is 0 (or -0, 0 and +0 for you math buffs) which I posit as the difference of emotion. Whatever emotion you are feeling it's opposite is no emotion. regardless of the characteristics of said emotion. You can feel more Love and less love (magnitude) but reducing less love to it's conclusion is 0 or no emotion.
Did that make any sense to anyone other than me? I feel I explained that horribly.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
